Director of Education and Member Learning

BetterInvesting is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing investment education to individuals. The Director of Education & Member Learning will lead the strategy, development, and delivery of educational programs, ensuring alignment with the organization's mission and engaging learners effectively.

Responsibilities

• Own the strategy, development, and delivery of all BetterInvesting educational programs, including online courses, webinars, workshops, and in-person events
• Lead, develop, and manage a team spanning home office education and magazine staff and volunteer educators, setting clear expectations, coaching for growth, and holding the team accountable for results
• Develop and manage the department budget, monitoring expenses and anticipating resource needs
• Serve as the primary Home Office subject matter expert on BetterInvesting's core analytical framework (the Stock Selection Guide) and the educational resources built around it
• Design and maintain a structured, sequenced curriculum built around the SSG, covering foundational concepts for beginners through advanced applications for experienced investors
• Develop new educational pathways that meet learners where they are, with clear progression from introductory to mastery-level content
• Lead the team to create compelling content across multiple formats: video tutorials, interactive tools, written guides, and live instruction. Work closely with marketing to ensure appropriate reach, deployment, and alignment with SEO and digital acquisition goals
• Establish metrics for educational effectiveness and continuously improve based on member outcomes, working with marketing to understand the impact of educational programming on member acquisition and retention
• Identify and cultivate relationships with subject matter experts and guest instructors
• Serve as the primary Home Office point of contact for BIVA

• Oversee BetterInvesting Magazine and ensure editorial content aligns with the organization's educational mission and vision
• Collaborate with the Editor in Chief on content strategy to ensure consistency between published content and core SSG methodology

Skills

• Deep, genuine interest in individual investing and personal finance; you don't need to be a professional investor, but you have a working knowledge of fundamental stock analysis, believe in its power as a framework for everyday investors, and can make that conviction contagious to learners at every level
• A genuine willingness to develop deep fluency in BetterInvesting's analytical frameworks; prior knowledge of the SSG is not required
• Demonstrated ability to take complex subject matter and build structured, sequenced educational programs around it, from foundational concepts to advanced applications; the content drives the curriculum, not the other way around
• 1–2 years of direct experience designing and delivering online learning programs; online education requires distinct instructional design skills, and comfort with digital learning environments, asynchronous formats, and learner engagement strategies is essential for this role
• Experience managing and developing a team, with the ability to set clear expectations, coach for growth, and hold people accountable
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to translate complex analytical concepts for non-expert audiences
• Comfort with quantitative analysis and financial calculations; the SSG is a fundamentals-based framework, and the ability to work fluently with numbers is essential to teaching it effectively
• Bachelor's degree (Master's in Education, Instructional Design, Curriculum Development, or related field preferred)
• Background in financial services, investment education, or personal finance, whether professional, academic, or as a committed individual investor
• Prior familiarity with the Stock Selection Guide or similar fundamental analysis frameworks is a plus, but not required; what matters is the ability and eagerness to develop genuine fluency
• Experience with learning management systems and educational technology
• Track record of successful curriculum modernization
• Experience working with volunteer organizations or distributed teams

Benefits
